Additional info: I first heard I Giorni on digital radio in December 2011, when I was a disheartened long-term serial starter, about to close the piano lid permanently. Before Einaudi played the final note I knew - AT LAST - that I’d found the type of music that I wanted to be able to play.
Decades later, I’m still in love with the composer, his music, and the piano.
This is still a work in progress, as usual, but it’s the longest piece I’ve ever recorded and my concentration was really stretched!
The video is a parade of the 11 pianos I have begged, borrowed, or bought since I first laid fingers on a shabby old player-piano way back in the 1950s.
